A High-speed 6-string Stallion
A no-nonsense take on the classic Fender Mustang, the Squier Sonic Mustang HH is teeming with alt-rock attitude! This guitar’s slightly compact offset poplar body is loaded with a pair of Squier ceramic humbuckers that deliver both raw, biting rock fury and full-range cleans. Next, the neck’s laurel-on-maple construction and C shape provide a feel that strikes a balance between playing comfort and high-performance playability. Prefer an instrument with a slinky string feel? The Mustang’s classic 24-inch scale length offers a relaxed tension and reduced fret-to-fret travel distance — perfect for developing guitarists and players with a slightly smaller grip. Whether you’re after an attitude-equipped first instrument or looking for a bold new sound to add to your arsenal, the Squier Sonic Mustang HH is a short-scale powerhouse.

A classic alt-rock tonal recipe
The Sonic Mustang HH takes a turn from tradition with a hot pair of humbuckers! While this combo certainly wouldn’t be found on any old-school Mustang, the combination of a short-scale Fender-style instrument with two humbuckers arguably defined the raw, unrefined tones of the grunge and early indie-rock eras. This guitar’s dual Squier ceramic humbuckers deliver a present, in-your-face attitude that cuts right through a band to stand front and center in any mix. Prefer a cleaner tone? Sweetwater guitarists find that the Sonic Mustang HH’s neck pickup delivers deep, rich cleans to complement its aggressive dirty tones, offering the perfect sonic combo for players looking to capture “loud-quiet-loud” alt-rock style.
Low-tension 24-inch scale length
While most Fender/Squier 6-string instruments feature a 25.25-inch scale length, the Mustang clocks in at a slightly shorter 24 inches. What does that mean for you? More relaxed playability up and down the fingerboard, with a shorter distance between each fret and slinkier string tension. Make no mistake — it’s still a full-size instrument (as evidenced by the legions of alt-rock and indie players devoted to the Mustang family, including the late legendary Kurt Cobain), but it does offer a significant fingerboard advantage to a player with smaller hands or a musician looking for a snappier sound and feel.
Maple neck with a comfortable C carve
The Squier Sonic Mustang HH’s maple neck will surely please players of all styles and backgrounds, featuring a crowd-pleasing C profile. It’s more than substantial enough to accommodate any player while sporting a lightning-fast feel for fleet-fingered runs. Up top, the fingerboard features Narrow Tall frets and a modern 9.5-inch radius, providing slick, fast playability with no fret-outs.
